MANNIE, WOW! Where to start? At the beginning, I guess. Grace Westerson was whelping a litter of puppies that fateful day when the towers fell in NYC. Emotions were running rampant: Terror, Fear, Panic, Joy, Hope, etc. For as New York and the world was losing so much, Grace was truly blessed with her new puppies. As a tribute to that day, the litter all had names in tribute to the events of 9-11. Thus came Mannie's name. Mannie finished her Canadian Championship in record time then was sent to the USA to be shown here. She once again stunned the judges and spectators alike finishing in just two weekends. We entered the Garden with hopes of making the entry but never imagined that we would. Well, off to New York we went, with our spirits high for this grand event. The breed ring was packed and the Havanese were breathtaking. Going BOS was a great moment for all of us. To say that we were on cloud 9 would be an understatement. Mannie has since retired from the show ring and has produced many champions including several with Specialty wins and Group Placements. She is a beautiful girl that has it all physically and the personality to steal your heart!
